    Me and my mom were at the grand opening of the re-built Globe Theater in June 1997. In fact, our seats were only about 20 feet away from the Queen herself that night.
    My mom also bought 3 of those name stones that go along the outside of the theater. One with her name, my name, and my dad’s name who had passed away years before.
    Throughout the 90's, my mom was very involved in Chicago with the fundraising for the rebuilding of The Globe. It was such a huge passion for her.
    Unfortunately, my mom now is very sick and I think I’m going to lose her soon. I just wanted to pay tribute to her here and say that the Globe Theater has always been so special to her and one day I’ll come back here with my kids and show them those name stones and tell them how their Nannan helped build this place.
    I love you mom ♥️

    Summary:
    - open air
    - 3000 spectators, most standing in front of stage
    - 1 penny entrance, extra penny for roof, extra penny for chair with cushoin
    - sixpence gets you a chair behind the stage, and lets ppl see you lol
    - no artificial lighting
    - no sets
    - no front curtain, but there was a curtain space in the back to reveal people
    - just a platform with the actors, no mics etc
    - canopy held up by two columns: rain protection & it's painted with stars and conveys the heaven
    - costumes were super important
    - male-only
    - ages 12-20 usually
    - trapdoor below stage to express hell, and other things underground
    - devices to do descents did exist, just not as much

    What I learned
    Theater had no artificial lighting
    -no curtain/no illustration
    It's a platform, on platform are the actors(they have a powervoice)
    Talented actors ages 12-20
    The theater held 2,000-3,000 ppl
    The theater paid more for costumes that the play

    The theatre were open air and accommodate 3,000 standing around the stage
    Money to get in was put in a box hence where the term box office comes from
    Depending on what you pay, you’ll have a different seat
    Lowest will let you stand in the gallery
    A bit more will give you a cushion
    Highest will allow you to sit behind stage or even on stage
    No use of artificial lighting, sets or curtains
    Use of powerful voices as well as good memory
    Two columns holding a canopy in the stage
    Most valuable thing was a costume
    Costume carried symbolic meaning
    All female roles in a play were played by boys rather than women
    Women weren’t expected to be good actors
    The canopy on stage would often be painted to represent the heaven amongst stars
    Just like there is a heaven, there is also a hell in the space between the stage and audience

    What they tell you: "Shakespeare is the most widely read author in the English language and his plays are performed all over the English speaking world!"
    What they don't tell you: "...because people are forced to read and watch it."
    This is a good video. Good info about staging. Quickly delivered and none of the made up stuff about "Shakespeare"s life.

    1. When was Shakespeare’s own Globe Theatre built?
    2. What privileges did you have if you had another penny?
    3. Where could you get if you had sixpence?
    4. Why did the actors need to have powerful voices?
    5. Why were the costumes valuable?
    6. How was the canopy decorated? What did it symbolize?
    7. What Shakespeare’s play is trap door used in?
    8. Why was it important to change the costumes?
    9. What other parts of the theatre could the actors use?
    10. What helped to produce some illusory effects?

      You know I'm 31 years old and I had a history teacher in high school that was actually really good and made me appreciate Shakespeare by explaining that everyone in this theater was drunk and yelling all the time, but I read this comment and just like that I'm miserable and I'm turning off the video now.
